Rewind: The Best Festival Fashion Street Style at Coachella

Coachella Is Almost Here! See Last Year's Best Style Snaps

Coachella is almost here. With killer bands like The Postal Service, Jurassic 5 (back together for the first time since '07), and the Red Hot Chili Peppers headlining, this US music festival is set for a big year. Of course, the impending date and the already-established lineup of stellar acts both serve as the perfect excuse to ready our festival wardrobes, or at least to start fantasising about dancing nonstop under the hot desert sun. To that point, we're looking back to the festival best of Coachella 2012 both to celebrate and to inspire our future festival fashion. Inside, it's a full range of fairground style — ankle boots, cut-offs, breezy dresses (the stuff great Coachella fashion is made of). With the countdown to two Coachella weekends (April 12-14 and April 19-21) officially on, there's no time like the present to gear up.

This is how you do fringe at a music festival. We love this fun look made up of a black fringed dress from the H&M Fashion Against AIDS collection finished off with gladiator sandals and a striking necklace.
